SDET Project Manager (hybrid role)

The Role: Project Manager (with SDET expertise) This is a hybrid role — part project lead, part quality guardian. You'll be the driving force behind our sprint cycles, ensuring smooth planning, clear communication, quality releases, and a balanced workload across team members. You’ll also roll up your sleeves as an SDET: writing automated tests, performing manual testing where needed, and embedding quality into our fast-paced development lifecycle.

What You’ll DoProject & Sprint Management (Primary Focus) Lead and manage sprints

— from planning and backlog grooming to retrospectives and release coordination. Ensure

clear communication , task ownership, and follow-up between developers, AI specialists, and product/design. Track progress using tools like Jira or Linear, and manage project timelines, blockers, and priorities. Keep a pulse on delivery readiness and quality across features and agents. Own the sprint cadence and help maintain a healthy developer velocity.

Software Quality & Test Engineering (SDET Focus) Design and maintain

automated test frameworks

(front-end, API, and back-end). Write test cases and scripts for key user flows — and

run manual tests

when automation doesn’t cut it. Ensure test coverage, traceability, and documentation of results. Collaborate with developers to

catch bugs early , improve testability, and support a high-quality release cycle. Test data flows, AI agents, and prompt-based systems using

Python

and

JavaScript

tools.

You Bring 4–5 years

of experience in software development, testing, or QA project management. Solid hands-on experience as an

SDET

or test engineer (manual + automated). Experience leading

Agile-style sprints

and managing small, cross-functional tech teams. Proficiency with

JavaScript/React

and

Python

for writing test scripts and automation. Knowledge of

LLM-based systems , AI workflows, or data-heavy applications is a big plus. Strong communication skills, independence, and a love for bringing structure to fast-moving environments.
